The PAX Prime Sale runs through Monday, September 1, so don’t forget to pick up these fun, unique games while they’re all on sale. Let us know which titles you are going to pick up in the comments below.

I bought two of these games 2 weeks prior to this sale. Asked support for the difference to be put in my wallet. But they would only do it if I bought the game a couple days instead of weeks Lol. Darn it.

@XxTigerheartxX
I hear you. I will experienced horrible customer service from PlayStation support just a few days ago. I was on multiple different calls for just over 3 hours and they wouldn’t do anything to help me. I asked to speak to someone in charge a couple times and was told “No.”. Eventually I spoke to someone that claimed they were a supervisor, and that person was unbelievably rude and unhelpful. I’m still trying to obtain satisfaction from them, I’m probably gonna have to file reports with various consumer protection agencies and today, unless I get some sort of satisfaction.

As far as these discounts go, Sony needs to realise the Vita is the best thing they’ve got, and I’ve got literally dozens of titles to prove it. Without a sports title or assassins creed.

@13 Totally with you. I don’t know that Ubisoft has ever done a cross-buy title, but while I kinda get it for a larger game like Rayman Origins, where two dedicated versions need to be created (multiplayer on the PS3 version, touch controls on the Vita version), I really don’t understand why they didn’t give it a shot with Child of Light, which is not as large and undertaking, and very much in that indie space where cross-buy is the norm.

I have to say was looking forward to this and these are pretty bad deals. Only a couple of bucks off games that will probably be lower in the coming months. up to 60% off for what that alien spidy game? I was ready to get a $50 gift card and buy some of these, but I guess this time Sony didnt want my money, well I have a big backlog anyways, maybe some other time.

Ooo, looks like my prediction came true about the price of Beyond: Two Souls (I said it was going to be $50-$30 haha, mostly because it’s been on sale in physical form for that before), so I may have to buy it after some research. I tried the demo when it first came out and I was impressed though.

As for Child of Light on Vita, it’s probably something to do with the amount of time that has passed between the time the PS4/PS3 versions came out and the Vita version. There was a 3 month difference, and these sales are mostly based off of depreciation, so more time passed = higher discounts. I’m just happy that the Vita even got Child of Light to begin with. I haven’t bought any version of it yet though. Cross-Buy would have been nice mind you, even if they had to increase the price to say $20-$30. The timing of the versions were just odd looking back :/

@Gillberg Wait until the store updates.

Also, who likes having wizards around that magically figure out sales a week or so beforehand?

Beyond Two Souls! That is a steal of a deal. That dang 25 gig dl though. :/ I don’t have 50 gigs free and will have to delete a handful of my awesome massive games to get it downloaded. IE FFX/X-2, Ni No Kuni, all of my Tales of Games…..Grrrrrr….I think I gotta buy it though. :D

@1, I hope they didn’t refund your money. If that’s the case everyone would ask for a refund anytime something changed price. I don’t understand why there are so many entitled people on the comment section every week.

Excited about this sale. Flash sale last weekend was a bit of a bust, but there are a few games on here I am quite excited about.

I will grab Tiny Brains for sure, and probably Transistor which I have been watching for a while. I may get Child of Light, but would have most wanted the PSVita version. Too bad that isn’t included, and the game isn’t Cross Buy.

As for @1 and the entitled comments, I actually agree with his point. He isn’t saying prices should never change, but almost every box store retailer has at least a 30 day price protection guarantee. That is standard customer service, not entitled whining.

@38 That is a thought yes, but physical things can be repackaged or recycled and resold again. What is the purpose of a refund policy on something that only exists in digital form? Plus you must remember that stores abide by the same depreciation ideas unless they want a loss leader for a sale. If you buy a game at $49.99 at a retailer that’s new, the same retailer is probably not going to lower that game’s price to $39.99 in 14-30 days. If they do you could go back, offer your receipt and get your ten dollars off, but rarely does this happen. More than likely you would buy a game and some other store has it on sale for $39.99, and then sure, why not, go get your $49.99 and buy the game for $39.99. I’m sure a very rare few do this practice, but lazy people like me sure don’t.

General rule of game buying: If you can’t wait for a sale, then you are stuck with the price you paid. Stop whining.
